Call It What It Is: Foreign Interference

@david_reid @SuperMoosie there's a number of good points and useful analysis... but insofar as it reduces Hanson to foreign interference, it is really fuelling liberal conspiracy theory rubbish. The kind of nonsennse that calls Trump a Russian agent. As if the US billionaire class and political establishment could not possibly produce such a shitstain themselves. Of course they could. And while the fascists and ultraright parties certainly operate internationally (as their billionaire sponsors do), Hanson is also a very Australian shitstain.
